Why Continuous Testing?

Continuous Testing is a critical requirement for organizations that want to drive business growth with their digital experiences. As customers increasingly expect to engage online, and over 50% of them driving traffic from mobile devices, it is vital that your apps have the coverage and high quality to delight your users. Skipping this step can result in bad reviews, abandonment by your users, and most importantly lost revenue.
